iOS 10.3 arrives with a new file system: the contributions of Apple File System, including free space!

It's done,last update
important update of iOS 10 is availableand maybeinstalled
on iPhones, iPads compatible with iOS 10. She bringsnovelties
seen there, increased security with
many fixesand does not seem to alter the performance of
machines,
for some, it even improves it!

But there is a completely invisible modification that is embedded in
this delivery. This is afile management system
which replaces an old system30 ans! Named Apple
File System, it is deployed with the various updates of iPhone, iPad,
Newly released Apple TV, Apple Watch and Mac.

But what are the contributions and impacts of such a change?__

We mentioned above, the file system allowing you to store
applications, working files and data from applications and games used
until yesterday's update is named HFS/HFS+. It was created for
manage data stored on floppy disks and hard disks,il
was no longer adapted to the specificities of the flash memories used on our
mobile machines and increasingly widespread on computers.

Among the expected benefits, this new system integratesthe
native encryptionbut it is also designed to make
"snapchots" and make it easier to restore files. He is
Alsodesigned to have reading and writing time
reduced. If this will not necessarily be sensitive for us
users, this is certainly a significant gain, especially on Mac.

But that's not all, one of the effects that iOS users will be
sensitive is the change regarding the calculation of the space available for
the files. Result :additional free space which
appears after update.

You also noted itIn
comments here after installationwith gains of 1.3 GB for
one, 1 and 2.3 GB for others. Always appreciated!

In the short term, few visible effects therefore for the user except this
gain on available storage space and an iOS 10.3 plus update
longer than what we are used to seeing. But this new system constitutes
the modern foundations necessary for future developments of systems
d’Apple, notably theswitch to all 64 bits, which
which we could see arriving with iOS 11 this fall, after a presentation
in springduring the developers conference.

How much space did you gain on your machine after updating
iOS 10.3 ?
